Oh wait, I already designed that shirt for my intramural basketball team. Why? cause we f*cking hate sh*tty city that stole our team. no one on my team would ever endorse that garbage.

To correct one or two minor points, Supersonics Soul never said Mark Malazarte (who was born in the Philippines and came to the US as a child) was an &quot;ESL student.&quot; They referred to him as an &quot;ESL fellow,&quot; which is, technically, correct, as English was most likely his second language. One simple Google search for Mark, listed as the shirt creator on the site where the shirt was originally marketed, will provide you with pretty much his life history, including his resume which lists his address, phone number, and email. Since English is one of two &quot;official languages&quot; of the Philippines, the &quot;ESL&quot; thing is really a non-issue and probably shouldn&#39;t have been brought up; however, I believe the intent was to cut the guy some slack or possibly find some rationale that could explain such a phenomenally misguided and boneheaded creation. He will get no such slack, from me. While Mark not only created and marketed this singularly offensive item, he has not had the backbone to stand up and defend his creation. Many of the sadly confused and hyper-sensitive &quot;writers&quot; from nbaoffseason have given their lame and impotent defenses for Mark&#39;s &quot;work&quot; but Mark, himself, has been oddly silent. You are a coward, Mark Malazarte. And if you don&#39;t want people to know your &quot;personal&quot; info, don&#39;t make it so readily available, online. This whole crew is a bunch of freaking idiots who clearly have no clue what it means to bleed Green &amp; Gold.Darenunlimitednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-32595474853768223922011-10-04T16:10:34.127-07:002011-10-04T16:10:34.127-07:00I&#39;m with Paul, the guy&#39;s full of it.

Because they want to remind everyone where the Thunder came from, hence the Never Forget title given to the shirt. <br /><br />Why would an OKC fan want to wear it? Because they think it&#39;s a cool remix on a classic logo and shows the history of where their franchise came from. <br /><br />The world didn&#39;t stop when the Sonics left Seattle. The NBA kept going and a few seasons and a couple of championships later, here we are. Your tears won&#39;t bring back the Sonics just like us not making this shirt didn&#39;t take them away from you. <br /><br />And if you want to know, Sonics fans HAVE bought this shirt. In fact readers of this blog bought this shirt. We&#39;ve sold a ton of them and there&#39;s no reason for us to pull them just because a small, bitter group of people are offended by the shirt. Last I checked the world doesn&#39;t revolve around your tiny group and Seattle isn&#39;t the center of the universe. <br /><br />Enjoy your bitterness while I enjoy the NBA.Shane Bakerhttp://twitter.com/Suga_shanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-24772848450099055162011-10-04T10:32:55.554-07:002011-10-04T10:32:55.554-07:00Well, Shane, here&#39;s your opportunity to prove ...Well, Shane, here&#39;s your opportunity to prove us all wrong. If you can explain why you think someone from Seattle would want to buy that shirt, please, by all means, give us your rationale. Then, if you can explain why someone from OKC would want to buy it, then, please, do the same.<br /><br />Honestly, I don&#39;t think you can and that you&#39;re trying to make a buck off the anguish of Seattle basketball fans. As for the &quot;wearing a Sonics hat to own wedding&quot; stuff, you sound like those idiots who say they&#39;re not racists because they &quot;have a black friend.&quot; Dude, anyone who was a real a Sonic fan would never make a crappy shirt like that. <br /><br />Ever.ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-49119093152517607042011-10-03T18:52:03.569-07:002011-10-03T18:52:03.569-07:00Not sure how we are a$$holes, I think you guys are...Not sure how we are a$$holes, I think you guys are just humorless.
